In my opinion, the best option would be to hold the contest for a short period (12 or 24h) because if the contest lasts for like the whole weekend, some people (including me xD) would just spend their whole weekend playing and being very frustrated about it.

If it was a shorter time (e.g. 12 hours), one could focus on the competition properly and would still have time for doing IRL stuff. ^^ 

For the prize, I'd like if there was some alternatives (e.g. sometimes credit prizes and sometimes a set)
Same! And I also agree on this too!

I like luminescence's idea of making them shorter. With the timezones 12/24hrs may be a little shorter but 48hrs would be good for everyone in different time zones.

My only concern with these contests is how many empty user accounts there will be at the end of it all. Like im sure Kaj is probably doing this to increase the stats of how many players use this game, but it makes the website slow. If there was a way to have the accounts deleted *if players don't want to use them afterwards* automatically that would be nice. 
I've spoken with Kaj about that - he doesn't really mind people making multi accounts for the contest. 

People can delete accounts themselves also if they like.
I mean, he can be fine with people making multiple accounts, but my concern is how many of them are clogging up the server after it. People deleting their accounts afterwards is already an option, but how many people will actually do that?

I mean, im guilty of it myself lol. I still have accounts in the system for when I was on ET and hosting events.

What I'm getting at is if there was a way for the accounts that were made between such date and such date that has been inactive for a week or so that will automatically be deleted that would be fantastic and help with the speed of the site.

I agree here, I don't think this kind of competition is worth my time at all

Also, I have to admit that I fail to see the point in having a bunch of side accounts at a high level on this website, this kind of competition would only make sense if it brought new users to the website, but as far as I've observed it doesn't.

The only thing it does is to make it seem like there are a lot of users.

Imo the problem with it only being 12 hours is time zones. Having it full 24 hours or 2 days will allow more people to be able to participate and have time

This. Seems like SO much stress and having to be glued to the computer. I also don't see the point in every single person wanting to participate having to make a NEW user for every single competition. The site will be clogged up with sideaccounts.

Also, for those trying to get the HOF/GAME set that arent a part of the competition, it will be even harder due to side accounts rising to the top because of it.

I wish some day males and females have diffferent lists about top 20 and top 50 players. It is pretty hard to be male and top 20 with all females.

Anyways all other things are fine! I don't have much motivation of to fan contests. sad

 I agree on this.  
The server will only get more empty side accounts. It will not bring new people, just more accounts by the people who already have accounts
